I need your energy, your vibrations, your naked skin under my hands. I need to touch your heat, that obsession pumping through your muscles, harmonizing your bones and flesh, making you hum. Every time you laugh, my heart tears, it rips, my soul shreds under your happiness, the happiness I so crave to feel, to […]
This road is dark and rife with faults, the cracks spreading clockwise and backwards, mixing time with doubt. You walk alone amongst shards of memory and glimpse your reflection in the wreckage while I bask in overgrown sunlight dotted with decay, and I wonder who’s more broken– the girl who can’t move forward or the […]
I am an island, remote and desolate, pieced together from flotsam and underwater mountains. Alone, separate, I am an island where nothing touches save the sea with its salty lips and acid tongue, and I am unreachable, spotless and distant, vast in my loneliness. I am an island, but so are you. With your righteousness […]
Blonde fields burnished red in the evening sun, spindly tree branches stretch out and creak like old men’s bones, and why does everything seem so beautiful from far away? Mountains look like paintings and people like perfection. We can reach out and almost grasp the beauty, the unreality, the imagined happiness trapped inside the fresco […]
Your scars are showing today. I see the ridges where your wounds were raw, where your skin grabbed on and refused to give up. I see those red places where the pain has not yet abated, where the injuries blaze in fresh agony. When you self-destruct, I imagine your heart clawing it’s way out of […]
There will never be a time when I will not love you. I will love you a few hours from now when I’m lying in bed imagining your hand on my cheek or your fingers in my hair. I will love you next week when I’m driving to work and that song comes on and […]
Once upon a time when many moons circled the heavens and sunlight faded to bright blue, there was a boy, and not just any boy, for he was a boy cut from the minds of musicians, wrought from the fingers of fiddlers, and molded from the clay of composers. This boy had notes for bones […]
I am smeared with memories of you, covered over with promises we meant to keep, stories we meant to tell, and I find myself folded up with your image tangled around me, twisting its way into my skin, turning my bones into branches that subsist on you alone. I feel the reaching, the ever-present sound […]
In those two short weeks, I loved you enough for a lifetime. The minutes were taffy stretching out until dawn broke in time for long days where seconds were hours only because your skin was against mine. And I’ve loved you every day we were apart, and those, too, felt like millenia, those sticky seconds […]
Shards of a shattered mirror sit beneath my bloody feet. I can see an eye, a finger, a slice of skin reflected in broken pieces of a crumbling life. Voices echo through the surrounding darkness, screaming to take another look at a past turned to dust and a future made of ghosts. Each labored breath, […]
